The Repair Plus home button flex for iPad 5 (2017) and iPad 6 (2018) is a replacement home button flex for the 9.7-inch iPad 5 and iPad 6. It fixes a home button that will not click, responds only sometimes or has stopped working after a drop or screen repair. Brand new and made to OEM standard fit. Shipped the same day from Manchester when you order before 4pm, Monday to Friday.
Key features
- Restores the home button: brings back the press that takes you to the home screen and opens multitasking.
- Two-model fit: made for both iPad 5 (2017) and iPad 6 (2018).
- Ideal with screen repairs: the home button flex is often damaged when the glass is removed, so it is worth keeping one in stock.
- Tested before dispatch: each part is checked before it leaves us.
- Low-cost fix: far cheaper than replacing the whole screen assembly.

Compatibility
Fits the iPad 5 (2017) and iPad 6 (2018). It does not fit the iPad Air 2, iPad 7 or later 10.2-inch models, which use different home button parts. Check your iPad in Settings > General > About, where the model name and model number (starting with A) are shown.
Fitting notes
- The home button sits on the back of the glass, so the screen must be removed to fit it.
- Use gentle heat and thin picks, and support the flex so it does not tear.
- Test the button before sealing the screen back down.
